Pillar 3: Resilience of Built and Natural Environments in Pandemic Control

Pillar 3: Resilience of Built and Natural Environments in Pandemic Control

  • Investigating how the virus and its human hosts change depending on different indoor and outdoor environments
  • Investigating how environment plays into vulnerability and resiliency, and how we can alter the built environment to accommodate resilience against pandemics
